It’s pretty sad that your argument is that Microsoft would be winning if they got exclusive rights to Baldur’s Gate and shut everyone else out.
When this happens- EVERYONE loses.
And for the record, my sentiment is the norm because it adheres to reality. Get your head out of your ass an pay attention to how Microsoft it fucking things up for everyone AND themselves.
Am I having a complete reading comprehension failure? “Microsoft would be winning if they got exclusive rights to Baldur’s Gate” isn’t in the comment you replied to at all.
If Microsoft did get exclusivity gotBaldurs Gate, we’d be looking at a very successful period for Microsoft. Once the stars align, they’ll make a killing.
Oh right, I skimmed over that, but it seems like an aside to their main argument that there needs to be at least one major competitor to Sony in order to prevent a monopoly.
Firstly, my entire argument does not hinge on that one point. I’m simply commenting on Microsoft misjudging that potential value of Baldurs Gate and not making it an exclusive. If they judged it better, they’d be in a much better position financially and competitively.
Second, Playstation absolutely relies on exclusivity in order to keep their console competitive. Whenever there’s discussion about making games exclusive to XBox, people throw a fit, but it somehow doesn’t apply to PlayStation?

Despite the fact that you’re a child and unable to converse without resorting to insults, I’ll bite. Microsoft is a business. They’re losing the console war every generation, and the reason is exclusive games. They’re doing something about it.
With titles like Bloodborne, Horizon, God of War, ratchet and clank, the last of us, Uncharted, shadow of the Colossus, Persona 5, Spiderman etc. Whether they’re timed exclusives or not, they are console sellers for PlayStation. I can’t think off the top of my head, any exclusives for Microsoft besides Gears of War back in the day that I cared about. They messed up Halo infinite, Forza is meh, and everything else is also old. They need exclusives to balance the board and to stay competitive.
Microsoft also offers all their ‘exclusives’ on PC and GamePass, so even though they’re exclusive, they’re still far more available than PlayStation games, which typically come out on PC a few days after, and sometimes as Terrible ports.

Competition is fine- but let the tides raise or lower all ships. Exclusivity is bullshit. And they know it.
